do you enjoy pregnancy?

[natalie91]

Some people breeze through pregnancy and get  glowing skin lots of energy and shiny hair without ne bad symptoms.i on the other hand am vomiting exhausted emotion dizzy uncomfortable my skins breakn out and my hairs so dry ive got a constant headache!! I 4got how much i dislike being pregnant, id rather give birth 5times then have to wait til august! So which one are u guys? Do u thrive of pregnancy or feel like ur completly drained? P.s this is just 4 fun :)

My first pregnancy was so.easy! Barely any morning sickness or any other symptoms. But this one now omg I swear I have EVERY symptom possible. Morning sickness, swollen feet, itching, headaches, body aches etc. This boy just doesn't want me to have fun lol

[greatexpectations_4_2012]

I have had every symptom under the sun since I became pregnant. I am hoping that my second trimester will be better but if it isn't, I will be ok. I wouldn't trade this for the world because I tried so long to get pregnant. It is rough at times but I am just glad I am experiencing it.

im 36 weeks,
and i've already decided that i'm never having another child because of how bad this pregnancy has been lmao.
so , firstly - youre not alone!
secondly, we're doing a really big task!
we're carrying and caring for another life that lives through US.
no one said you have to enjoy it,
(cause i sure dont!),
but just get thru the 40 weeks and technically,
you'll never have to do it again :) lol

I hated pregnancy. I had hyperemesis with my daughter and was sick non-stop until the day I gave birth - it lasted for an additional few weeks as my hormone levels dropped. It also caused a mess on my body, and I've had issues for the past 15 months as well. After pregnancy I was diagnosed with GERD, Gastritis and IBS (which I already had) and I've spent till now fighting with my health and weight. Because it has been so difficult, my husband has been sterilized. The risk to my health is not worth having more children. (I'm 22 and he is 25, this is our only child)

This is my second pregnancy and I don't know If its because this one is so different or because my memory ***** but sore boobs, spotting sickness non stop worry but i do love it although can't wait till he/she os here toll on September x

[cnhauk]

I also love being able to have a big belly and rather than feeling self concious about it, I flaunt it and feel great!

[trumom]

First pregnancy I enjoyed it but not breeze through it...my second and now third and last was traumatic, exhausting, mental challenge for me. I had hyperemesis (night and day vomit) the whole pregnancy and was stuck in the house for half of pregnancy with IV lines and meds...I wanted pregnancy incubation to be shorter...I was not happy because I can't really do much when I am a person who likes to be active doing a lot of stuff...in the end when I met my second child I was ao exhausted that I ended bonding with him the next day. This last one I am on my 4th month and still sick...I am staying positive.
Yes, I envy those who don't so much problems or sickness when they're preggy.

I had a great pregnancy with my first (my daughter) until I developed kidney stones and swollen kidneys and needed surgery at 34wks...but even so, I loved every minute. with my first son, I had an exhausting pregnancy and began having neurological problems and fainting/cardiac issues near the end (I was going blind and ended up needing induced at 39w4d before my vision suffered permanent damage)...and once again, even so, I loved it.

Now I'm pregnant with #3 (another boy :-) ) and even though I'm exhausted and dealing with a lot of physical issues caused by the pregnancy, I love it.

With all 3 pregnancies I've been so sick that I've lost weight and barely gained any, and they've all had their individual challenges.

It's all about attitude...honestly. Some women have such miserable pregnancies that they can't enjoy it no matter what and I can appreciate that, but I know plenty of women who have had easy pregnancies and yet they were miserable because they had a bad attitude about it. There have been times during all of my pregnancies that were frustrating and/or scary, but I always feel beautiful and strong when I'm pregnant so I love it :-).

[nicole8989]

There are days when i feel great and days i feel like just plain stayin in bed.  i have more.energy when i take my prenatals for some reason.  

[tmd10811]

I am only 7 weeks. Definitely exhausted. Been real nauseated but haven't actually got sick. I have found that if I keep myself in a routine I feel a lot better. However on weekends its extremely hard to go to bed at 7:30!

[Lesley27]

I had a miserable pregnancy but absolutely loved being prego! this pregnancy isnt being any easier but once that baby starts moving and responding i love it! i cant wait to get there! this first trimester is crazy and i could absolutely due without it but it so worth it!

[MamaBear0612]

I think it depends on what part of the pregnancy I focus on. I'm highly independent (to a fault) and I hate asking for help, so the physical limitations are driving me crazy. And I'm getting chubby after working so hard for weight loss, and I'm tired all the time and my asthma has gotten progressively worse, and that first trimester tried to kill me...but...

This child was completely unexpected - I'm edging towards my mid-thirties and single so I was coming to terms with just adopting one day - so even when I'm feeling my worst I'm SO GLAD this baby is here. And I'm having fun planning baby showers with friends and family, choosing a name and decorating the nursery. I even think it's cute that people want to rub my belly for luck lol, and that everybody is so excited about this new little life. It is for me a joyful experience, whatever frustrations come with it are so worth it. :)

[RippedonScotch]

it's #1 for me but I honestly like it.  I'm not having any issues and I didn't get morning sickness or anything.  I'm almost 23wks now and feel the same as I did before I was pregnant.  I can also tell you that to date I've actually only gained 4-5 lbs but I'm a bigger girl to start with.   it all just sort of moved to my baby bump that I have now.  

[millionair]

This is #4 an at first I was completly misrable but now at 15w I feel a lot better still get headaches a lot but other than that I'm great:)

[cnhauk]

I'm 30 weeks with my first and I love it so far!! Some minor symptoms and ailments but for the most part it's been great! But ask me again in 4-6 weeks haha. Like evie1029, I'm not one who likes to draw attention to myself and I'm not one who will talk about myself unless someone asks, so this is a great excuse to finally be the (somewhat) focus of attention without looking like a self-centered person. I'm soaking it up while I can before this little bean arrives because I know after that, it's all about baby (which I am completely okay with!)

[JoJo629]

im 37 wks with #3, i loved it until about 32 weeks.  Now im in so much pain and cant sleep.  I cried on my way to work this morning

[sehale]

I have good days and bad days. Sometimes I feel beautiful, have energy, and just all around feel good. Some days I feel fat, lazy, and awful.

[tiny321]

No misserable this #4 and I hate being sick

[Shannonrene]

I loved being pregnant with my first 2 the last one was 10 years ago when I was 25 this is my 3rd and I'm 35 definitely a lot different I'm moody emotional and drained of energy so not quiet loving pregnancy as much this time around but still so worth it in the end to get to hold my little miracle

[lish_marie]

this is my first, and its miserable!!!!! my symptoms consist of constant fatigue, massive breakouts on what used to be near flawless skin, nausea, heartburn, insane mood swings. i get so exhausted, to the point where im in tears, and still cant sleep. and on top of all of that, i break out in hives atleast 4 days a week. being pregnant is farrrrr from what i expected. i try to keep a positive attitude though and just keep thinking "this wont last the whole time" :)

[Evie1029]

I liked the ego boost it gave me.  I'm usually not one who likes attention drawn to myself and I could definitely do without the 1st trimester but I'd  never felt so proud as when I'd be out wearing a cute outfit that shows off my belly.  I'd think to myself, "I am creating a life!"  I also remember getting a lot of smiles from strangers so that made me feel good too.  But yeah, those first 13 weeks...  I think my least favorite part was right at the end of the 1st trimester where I just looked chubby and felt like crap, lol.

[Lovemylilones]

I love it:) have a few symptoms I could do without such as moodiness and break outs but all in all pregnancy is great:)

[natalie91]

Yea its really strange how different people bodys react to the pregnancy.i wish i could say i love it but honestly it brings out the worst in me but i just kept telling myself its not 4ever soon il be bk to normal and have a wee bundle of joy :)

[AnnieBrooke]

I loved pregnancy.  Wish I could do it again.
